CHAPTER 1

Introducing the Doberman Pinscher

Alert and watchful, the mighty Doberman Pinscher may look intimidating, but underneath that serious exterior lives a big teddy bear. Although they were bred to be menacing guard dogs, the Doberman has made the transition from fierce protectorate to the loveable family dog. When well-socialized from an early age and trained to be obedient, the Doberman Pinscher becomes a wonderful dog to have around children. You will quickly see that the Doberman’s powerful and dangerous outward appearance does not reflect the playful, happy personality of the breed. Proud owners of Doberman Pinschers soon abandon adjectives like “menacing” and “intimidating” in favor of words like “calm,” “obedient,” “shy,” “smart,” and “athletic.”

It is easy to spot a Doberman. Their erect ears give them a perpetually alert appearance and their broad, athletic chest and smooth coat shows off their muscular build. The Doberman is a quintessential guard dog and will faithfully protect his family. He will join you on a run around the park, or a swim at the lake, and will love to have you toss a ball or Frisbee to him whenever you can. Dobermans are surprisingly shy and reserved. They have a personal space bubble around them, and they don’t like to let strangers in. It is different with their family though. They are affectionate and cuddly towards people they know well.

Ever vigil, the Doberman is a wonderful companion dog and faithful watchdog.

This Doberman Pinscher guidebook is intended to help you learn more about Dobermans, so you can determine if this is the dog breed for you and your family. Dobermans bring some unique qualities to their owners and will quickly become an important member of the family. In this Doberman Pinscher handbook, we will discuss breed-specific information about training, feeding, and keeping your Doberman healthy and happy. You will also see information about finding a reputable Doberman breeder, caring for Doberman puppies, puppy-proofing your home, and even how to address changes that arise as your Doberman enters his golden years.

With your increased Doberman Pinscher savvy, you will gain insight into why the Doberman has remained one of the more popular dog breeds worldwide. We will showcase the unique characteristics of this devoted and good-natured pooch to prove that you can’t judge a dog’s heart from its cover.

CHAPTER 2

What is the History of the Doberman Pinscher

The Doberman Pinscher has enjoyed an interesting history, yet one that is shrouded in mystery. We don’t know, to this day, the exact canine make-up for the Doberman, but we do know that this dog was bred to fill a distinct niche…that of a guard dog.

How and Why Were Dobermans Developed?

Karl Friedrich Louis Doberman (whose last name is sometimes spelled “Dobermann”) held two important positions in the town of Apolda, in Thüringen, Germany, in the late 1800s. He served as a tax collector, and he ran the local dog pound. Tax collecting in late nineteenth century Germany was a dangerous profession and Herr Doberman regularly traveled through questionable areas, known for harboring bandits and criminals, while carrying large sums of cash. He soon devised a way to protect himself that involved his second job as kennel keeper at the Apolda dog shelter. With many different breeds at his disposal, Herr Doberman began a breeding program with the goal of creating a breed of dog that was intimidating in appearance, aggressive and protective, as well as obedient and intelligent. His end result was the Doberman Pinscher, a mighty, formidable, and loyal dog that would take his name.

Bred to be a protector and guard, the Doberman Pinscher is a hard-working dog.

Herr Doberman, unfortunately, was a better dog breeder than he was record-keeper. He did not keep good records of his dog breeding activity, so we do not know what breeds comprise the Doberman Pinscher’s background. We can only speculate. Most experts believe that the Doberman was developed from the smooth-coated German Pinscher, Rottweiler, and the Black and Tan Terrier, but the Doberman could also contain some Greyhound, Weimaraner, Beauceron, and Manchester Terrier, although exact ratios cannot be determined. Herr Doberman was pleased with the outcome of his guard dog, which he described as the ideal combination of loyalty, endurance, speed, intelligence, ferocity, and strength.

The Doberman Pinscher breed was most likely stable by the 1890s. When Herr Doberman passed away in 1894, the German Kennel Club officially named the breed in his honor, although they did not officially recognize the breed until 1900. Subsequent dog breeders, primarily Otto Goeller and Philip Greunig, continued work on the dog breed, giving us the Doberman that is so recognizable today.

How Did the Doberman Pinscher Get Its Name?

It is easy to see where the Doberman name originated, but the Pinscher part proved to be more problematic. By the mid-1900s, the German Kennel Club dropped the word Pinscher from the dog breed’s name, stating that it was misleading. “Pinscher” means “terrier” in German, and the Doberman breed was not considered to be a terrier. In fact, Dobermans are members of the working class of dogs. The British Kennel Club followed suit and removed the Pinscher term a few years after the Germans. Canada and the United States are the only countries that still use the original name of Doberman Pinscher.
